Abstract [en]

The rapid evolution of telemedicine has enhanced healthcare accessibility, yet significant challenges persist, particularly in data security, patient engagement, latency, and scalability. Existing telemedicine solutions rely on centralized architectures, making Electronic Health Records (EHRs) susceptible to data breaches and unauthorized access. This research proposes a novel system which integrates the metaverse and blockchain into telemedicine which can be a transformative approach to solve problems in remote healthcare. By combining immersive virtual environments with decentralized data management, the proposed solution described in this paper aims to give users more ways to interact with each other, enhanced data security, increased efficiency, and higher scalability. The Metaverse serves as the foundation for the implementation of 3D consultation rooms, virtual training spaces, and individual care. Blockchain offers safe, transparent, and immutable data exchange that will create patient-empowered medical records for them. Real-time devices and analysis of real-time physiological data from wearables, sensors, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) analytics complete the system. The proposed solution extensively uses Virtual Reality (VR)/Augmented Reality (AR) devices, IoT sensors, Ethereum, and the Unity 3D platform, among others. Assessments indicate that system receives a significantly high level of satisfaction from its users, better secured data, increased automation of processes, and compliance with global standards such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Compliance with such global standards is achieved through smart contract-based access management, smart contract-based consent management, and immutable audit trails in the blockchain. Moreover, this research demonstrates that incorporating high-tech tools like AI and VR into telemedicine is currently feasible. This paves the way for the creation of even more secure and user-friendly telemedicine platforms that employ neural networks. This research sets a foundation for next-generation telemedicine ecosystems.
